00:00:00One last touchdown pass for the
00:00:05A's Bill Sims number 11 is
00:00:10number retire tonight at Giants
00:00:12Stadium.
00:00:16They're back to receive the kick
00:00:17off the foot of Brad now we saw
00:00:20and that's a beauty.
00:00:21Two years ago that one would
00:00:22have been out of the back of the
00:00:23end zone touch back and Dallas
00:00:27has it at the 20 Monday night
00:00:29baseball is being brought to you
00:00:30by create a higher standard than
00:00:32the Cowboys in the first half.
00:00:33Dan Reeves knows that all too
00:00:35well he's on the short end of a
00:00:37three touchdown deficit and the
00:00:42Cowboys begin by sending Moose
00:00:44Johnston flanked wide right in a
00:00:47set we've not seen before.
00:00:49Kevin Williams in motion comes
00:00:52back the other way and Michael
00:00:54Irvin makes the catch so they do
00:00:56all that razzle dazzle and come
00:00:57back to their bread and butter
00:00:58for a 16 yard pick up in the
00:01:00first down.
00:01:01Well it was a good blitz pick up
00:01:02the Giants opening with the
00:01:03blitz against Troy Aikman and
00:01:05they picked it up and picked it
00:01:07up in time for Troy to look over
00:01:09the field it was a good read by
00:01:11Irvin also reading the blitz
00:01:15pretty strong arm to he threw
00:01:16that off balance and whipped it
00:01:18across the field look at that
00:01:18that's just with his arm and
00:01:21like all great and like all
00:01:23great receivers Michael Irvin
00:01:25always makes something happen
00:01:27after the catch very Jerry Rice
00:01:30like in that respect.
00:01:31Here's Emmitt Smith doing a very
00:01:33big first half stop after a game
00:01:34of one up in the 38 yard line.
00:01:36Michael Brooks pounds him back
00:01:42Michael Brooks at middle line
00:01:44backer this year for the Giants
00:01:45was able to move in there when
00:01:46Mike Kroll came as a free agent
00:01:50for the Denver Broncos and that
00:01:54helps the Giants.
00:01:55It really does help.
00:01:56He's much more effective in the
00:01:57middle.
00:01:58Kroll gives them the ability to
00:01:59come off the corner.
00:02:00He had some success early out in
00:02:03Denver as a as a pass rusher.
00:02:05I think it makes the Giants a
00:02:06little more solid defensively
00:02:10second down and nine some
00:02:11flinching going on up front and
00:02:12flags are down back away the
00:02:18rest prior to the snap ball
00:02:20start right tackle offensive
00:02:22right tackle five yards second
00:02:25down Gary Williams maybe just
00:02:29timing off a little bit.
00:02:31He just played last week for the
00:02:32first time since what a year ago
00:02:34in October.
00:02:35First time back in combat.
00:02:37He just had 17 snaps last week
00:02:40and that's his entire preseason
00:02:42and other than locking up one on
00:02:43one with Charles Haley a little
00:02:45bit and some of the great
00:02:46cowboy defensive lineman.
00:02:48Darn right.
00:02:48This guy is going to feel his
00:02:49way for a while.
00:02:51He's special second and 14.
00:02:54They've been over the middle and
00:02:56there is Kevin Williams taking
00:02:58it to the forty six last year
00:03:00the number three receiver and
00:03:01with the departure of Alvin
00:03:03Harper as a free agent to Tampa
00:03:05Bay he's the number two guy this
00:03:06year 21 yard game.
00:03:08Willie Beeman is locked up one
00:03:10on one with Kevin Williams and
00:03:13just is not able to stay up with
00:03:14it again just out of the slot
00:03:17right across the middle.
00:03:18Nothing fancy about it at all.
00:03:19It's just the pinpoint accuracy
00:03:21of Aikman throwing and the
00:03:23quality of the skill people for
00:03:24the Cowboys and they're taking
00:03:25what they're being given by the
00:03:26Giants defense and they're
00:03:28working underneath and working
00:03:29through the outside not trying
00:03:30to go up high and get anything
00:03:32big until now and they've got a
00:03:35Novak to the 31 yard line and
00:03:37that's another first down in the
00:03:39game and 15 is Jesse Campbell
00:03:42makes the tackle.
00:03:43This is not a tight end beating a
00:03:44linebacker as you so often see
00:03:46this is a tight end thoroughly
00:03:48beating a safety man Jesse
00:03:50Campbell I watched Troy Aikman
00:03:52throw the football and I I think
00:03:54back to what Dan Reeves told us
00:03:55yesterday and this is a man and
00:03:57Dan Reeves who's been around the
00:03:58NFL for a long time and he said
00:04:00Troy Aikman is the most accurate
00:04:03passer he has ever seen and you
00:04:06know Dan Reeves he throws
00:04:07compliments around like manhole
00:04:09covers the most accurate passer
00:04:11he has ever seen in the game and
00:04:14he's got to be Matt Smith and
00:04:20they just do not come out of
00:04:21bounds.
00:04:22That's the good news.
00:04:23The bad news is he gains another
00:04:25twenty nine on a plate for
00:04:26coming down from Ernie Zampezi
00:04:29Emmett Smith has we've all known
00:04:31of his impressive stiff arm but
00:04:33I think Thomas Randolph is the
00:04:35guy that he's stiff arms there
00:04:37and almost embarrasses Randolph
00:04:39Randolph never does get to his
00:04:40body and barely gets him out of
00:04:42the way you wouldn't think for a
00:04:44guy as small as Emmett Smith that
00:04:46he is strong enough to keep a guy
00:04:48away from him watch this he's
00:04:50going to break to the sidelines
00:04:51now let's watch the right arm of
00:04:53Emmett Smith right here there's
00:04:54Randolph twenty three and he
00:04:56just pushed him away and kept
00:04:58him away he gets to the one yard
00:05:02line where Maurice Douglas makes
00:05:03the tackle Emmett Smith now has
00:05:06had the best day of any running
00:05:08back on this first weekend Terry
00:05:10Allen had one hundred thirty one
00:05:11yard line today for the
00:05:12Washington Redskins there was a
00:05:14good look he got it up on the
00:05:15face mask and that's too high but
00:05:17it just it threw Randolph away
00:05:19from him wouldn't allow him to
00:05:21get to his body Randolph only
00:05:22goes about one hundred seventy
00:05:23five pounds and you're going to
00:05:25be on the UK you've got to play
00:05:26through that arm you've got to
00:05:27come in loaded you got to be
00:05:28underneath it you've got to be
00:05:29under it second and goal Smith
00:05:32one hundred thirty eight yards
00:05:33and seeking his third touchdown
00:05:35and there is the hat trick for
00:05:36the Redskins this is a weapon a
00:05:43good old fashioned country
00:05:44weapon being put on by Barry
00:05:46Switzer's boys on the Giants
00:05:48just under four minutes on that
00:05:49drive that started at their 20
00:05:51yard line.
00:05:52Some speculation and we asked
00:05:54Barry about it yesterday that
00:05:55this would be his last year no
00:05:57matter what happens that he'd go
00:05:59out in a blaze of glory if he
00:06:00won or he'd say that his neck
00:06:02bothered him too much if he lost
00:06:04and he said that speculation is
00:06:05true.
00:06:07He's happy as a clam.
00:06:08Yeah I could see why somebody
00:06:09would want to quit coaching this
00:06:11totally untalented group of
00:06:13football players.
00:06:14Bonio for the point after an 11
00:06:170 3 remains in the third quarter
00:06:22three touchdowns for Smith Emmett
00:06:25seventy eight in seventy eight
00:06:26games during his career and the
00:06:28Cowboys lead at twenty eight
00:06:30since anything but as Herschel
00:06:34Walker gets set to run the
00:06:35Cowboys back I'm glad they got
00:06:36to stretch their vocal cords and
00:06:38warm up the palms of their hands
00:06:40during the halftime ceremony for
00:06:42Sims because there has been
00:06:44absolutely nothing to cheer
00:06:45about in the interim.
00:06:46John Baker sends it down to
00:06:48Thomas Lewis and Lewis comes
00:06:51back out to the 28 yard line
00:06:53he's tackled there by Bill Bates
00:06:56the Giants will go on the road
00:06:59and they'll go to Kansas City
00:07:00next week and then the Green Bay
00:07:03and the Cowboys go home and
00:07:05the Cowboys in the short week
00:07:06will open up their home schedule
00:07:08against the Denver Broncos
00:07:10Sunday Tommy Maddox was signed
00:07:14by the Giants this week.
00:07:17He was drafted by Reeves in
00:07:18Denver he was going to be the
00:07:20successor someday to John Elway
00:07:22and the next thing you know he
00:07:22was with the Rams and couldn't
00:07:24win a spot with them and then
00:07:25Reeves shocked everybody in New
00:07:27York last week by signing Maddox
00:07:29and releasing Kent Graham
00:07:35and then up to the 33 yard line
00:07:39thing about Tommy Maddox is I
00:07:41don't think there are a lot of
00:07:42coaches and general managers in
00:07:43this league that are standing in
00:07:45line to give him a shot and Dan
00:07:48Reeves it only takes one when he
00:07:50went all the way through
00:07:51waivers.
00:07:52And he wasn't a nice guy who
00:07:53could have given him a shot and
00:07:55he wasn't a high priced guy
00:07:56Frank.
00:07:56No.
00:07:57So but Dan drafted in number one
00:08:00I think it's a 25th and believes
00:08:02that he was in it in 1992 and
00:08:05Dan left and then he left and
00:08:06went with Rams second and four
00:08:08with Calloway in motion and the
00:08:12catch is made by Pierce.
00:08:14He breaks a plate in the home
00:08:15stack and then gets taken down
00:08:17at the thirty nine and picks up
00:08:18a first down plate in the home
00:08:20number forty seven.
00:08:21He's in the game.
00:08:22Kevin Smith is out and the
00:08:23update on Smith the cornerback
00:08:26he suffered a strained right
00:08:28Achilles tendon.
00:08:30He will not return tonight.
00:08:33He will have an MRI done
00:08:34tomorrow.
00:08:36So that's the only bad news so
00:08:37far this evening.
00:08:38So Clayton Holmes will spell
00:08:39Smith at least for the rest of
00:08:41the game and then we'll see
00:08:46certainly had that look of an
00:08:47Achilles injury.
00:08:48What happened.
00:08:49That's not good.
00:08:50No big cat creates a fumble but
00:08:58this penalty is going to go
00:09:00down as Cowboys fumble or Dave
00:09:03Brown trying to get rid of it.
00:09:04He hit you round and the ball
00:09:06popped out.
00:09:07You're right.
00:09:08I'm not sure what it was holding
00:09:09number 76 offense off side 78
00:09:15defense penalties off set replay
00:09:18the down about the ugliest play
00:09:21in history.
00:09:21Yeah Jumbo was working on the
00:09:23outside against Haley.
00:09:25Elliott gets flagged for the
00:09:26hold let way off sides at the
00:09:30start of the play.
00:09:35If you're an offensive lineman
00:09:36you could make the argument.
00:09:37Hey the reason I had to hold is
00:09:38because this guy was across the
00:09:39line scrimmage.
00:09:41Unfortunately it's not the guy
00:09:42you were blocking.
00:09:42So Jumbo would have a tough time
00:09:44pleading that case.
00:09:45They wouldn't listen to it
00:09:46anyway.
00:09:47So it's first and 10 and Marian
00:09:52and Brock Marion with the
00:09:53interception.
00:09:54What a great intercept.
00:09:55The new starter the man taking
00:09:57the spot of the departed James
00:09:59Washington has a pickle off and
00:10:02a great one it was a diving
00:10:04catch by Brock Marion who spent
00:10:05the past couple of years
00:10:06strictly on special teams playing
00:10:08behind James Washington.
00:10:10Watch this a leaping catch
00:10:14bubbles it gets it to the body.
00:10:16That's a great effort.
00:10:18That's you have to assume that
00:10:20Brown saw him and figured there
00:10:21is no way that he gets in on
00:10:23this play.
00:10:23He's working the underneath
00:10:25charades working the outside
00:10:27already locked up against the
00:10:28corner.
00:10:29That's a that's really like
00:10:30that.
00:10:30That's just brilliant.
00:10:31Highlight film material so the
00:10:38Cowboys have it at the giant
00:10:40forty seven nine fourteen left
00:10:42in the third quarter.
00:10:43Dallas up 28 to nothing.
00:10:46Underneath Michael Irvin tackled
00:10:49from behind at the thirty seven
00:10:50by Ray Agnew let's check in with
00:10:52I'm with Phil Simms and Phil I
00:10:54gotta ask you why you think this
00:10:55team is playing tonight.
00:10:56Well we were just talking about
00:10:58it I hope Dallas is just as good
00:11:00and they're going to go on and
00:11:02have a great season because
00:11:04otherwise the Giants could be in
00:11:05for a long season it looks like
00:11:06but maybe the rebound and get it
00:11:08together next week.
00:11:09Everybody told you to keep it
00:11:10shut out there you got a little
00:11:10emotional didn't you.
00:11:11Well yeah it was tough.
00:11:12You know there's a lot of things
00:11:13I try to stay away from subjects
00:11:14that I knew would get me
00:11:15emotional but I got through it.
00:11:17That was good.
00:11:18Dan Deardorff wants to know how
00:11:19you feel about the game.
00:11:20It's a lot of fun.
00:11:21We had a lot of fun this past
00:11:22week and now I listen to Dan
00:11:25Frank and now in a new way you
00:11:27know I listen to see how they're
00:11:28getting along up there and how
00:11:28they do it so maybe I'm trying
00:11:30to copy him a little.
00:11:32Think about the comeback.
00:11:33You and Lawrence Taylor.
00:11:34Lawrence has already complained
00:11:35he pulled his hamstring for that
00:11:36pass.
00:11:38So I guess he's not coming back
00:11:39to come back days for both of us
00:11:41are over.
00:11:41Phil thank you very much.
00:11:42Thanks.
00:11:44Phil Simms.
00:11:45I'm a big fan of the Giants.
00:11:46I'm a big fan of the Giants.
00:11:47I'm a big fan of the Giants.
00:11:48I'm a big fan of the Giants.
00:11:48I'm a big fan of the Giants.
00:11:49Phil Simms Phil as he throws the
00:11:51Lawrence Taylor there we owe it
00:11:53all to our great producer Ken
00:11:55Wolfe.
00:11:55I think you might be right.
00:11:57And he's settled in nicely.
00:11:59It's a nice booth they've got.
00:12:01You know what one of the nicest
00:12:02guys you'll ever meet on this
00:12:04planet is Phil Sims.
00:12:06I'm glad he had this moment.
00:12:07I'm glad that Frank in a way
00:12:09with the Giants.
00:12:10I'm glad they kissed and made up
00:12:12what it was to see both of them
00:12:14down there and the memories that
00:12:16just my own personal memories
00:12:17watching him play.
00:12:19It's very special.
00:12:20Taylor and Sims drafted by
00:12:23George Young when he first got
00:12:24here and George came in seventy
00:12:26nine and he's done a tremendous
00:12:27job but won a couple of Super
00:12:29Bowls and these two guys have
00:12:30been such contributors to
00:12:33whatever the Giants represent
00:12:34anymore in New York.
00:12:36You know the quarterback is not
00:12:38necessarily always the offensive
00:12:39leader as we watch a throwing
00:12:42and that's knocked down at the
00:12:43goal line by Thomas Randolph.
00:12:45Good coverage that time on Irvin
00:12:46and in this modern era of
00:12:48football a lot of times the
00:12:50the quarterback is the
00:12:52executioner.
00:12:52He is he is the machine that
00:12:54runs the offense.
00:12:56He's hooked up now robotically
00:12:58to the to the quarterback coach
00:13:01and to the offensive coordinator
00:13:02and oftentimes they're not the
00:13:04real leaders of the football
00:13:05team.
00:13:05Phil Sims was a throwback.
00:13:08He was the draw it up in the
00:13:10dirt.
00:13:10Get in your face if you're an
00:13:11offensive lineman and blew a
00:13:13block.
00:13:13He was that type of a quarterback
00:13:15right.
00:13:15Mark second down and 10 at the
00:13:18twenty five yard line.
00:13:20And then Smith's swinging to the
00:13:22outside and is tackled from
00:13:24behind.
00:13:24Nice play by Jesse Campbell
00:13:26staying with him.
00:13:29Campbell did with Thomas Randolph
00:13:32Randolph didn't do a while ago
00:13:33he drove through the tackle and
00:13:36the straight arm didn't affect
00:13:38him whatsoever.
00:13:41Then the Smith is strong.
00:13:42He's kind of the prototype of
00:13:44the running backs that are
00:13:45coming into the National
00:13:45Football League now about five
00:13:47nine about 200 pounds and they
00:13:49run low.
00:13:50They could bury Sanders and
00:13:51they're very difficult to get to
00:13:52the legs and the other thing
00:13:53they don't do they don't turn
00:13:55the football over the 400
00:13:58handles by Emma Smith with one
00:14:01bottle third and six and that's
00:14:03Jay Novacek breaking his way
00:14:05toward the goal line and then
00:14:06it's lost at the goal line and
00:14:09Maurice Douglas picks it up.
00:14:11So something good finally
00:14:13happens to the Giants.
00:14:14They don't believe it.
00:14:17Novacek and Tito Wooten it was
00:14:19Wooten who was able to extract
00:14:21the ball create the loss of the
00:14:24football and the Giants sometimes
00:14:26that extra effort will do it.
00:14:27I mean this is a Novacek just
00:14:28fighting for the end zone
00:14:29struggling to get there loose
00:14:32with the ball tried to reach
00:14:33across the goal line and he
00:14:34gives it up and Jesse Campbell
00:14:36got a hand in as well.
00:14:37Check doesn't believe this yet.
00:14:40He's probably thinking that he
00:14:41was down.
00:14:42We've got a good replay to show
00:14:43you a kind of educational giant
00:14:46from the four yard line.
00:14:47Rodney Hampton slip into the
00:14:49outside picks up two to the
00:14:50seven.
00:14:51Let's go back and look at the
00:14:51play again.
00:14:53Jay Novacek has to touch the
00:14:55field to be down and out of this
00:14:57play.
00:14:57Tito Wooten is number 29.
00:14:59He's going to end up underneath
00:15:00Novacek and Novacek is not on
00:15:02the field and he's going to be
00:15:04underneath Novacek and
00:15:06Novacek is not on the field.
00:15:08Thus the ball is still in play.
00:15:10Jesse Campbell swats it out of
00:15:12his hands right into the arms of
00:15:13Maurice Douglas.
00:15:15But because of the fact that
00:15:16Wooten was actually keeping
00:15:18Novacek from being on the field
00:15:19it's still a live play.
00:15:21Charles Haley reaching for his
00:15:23calf and stretching out his left
00:15:25leg as we have an injury time
00:15:26out.
00:15:27Hopefully that's just a cramp.
00:15:28You hope that's a cramp and it
00:15:29looks like it on ABC Roseanne
00:15:33has made some improvement in the
00:15:35Barbara Walter special and then
00:15:36primetime Wednesday features to
00:15:38grace under fires to Ellen's in
00:15:40a primetime live Wednesday night
00:15:42right here in his second down in
00:15:45seven didn't need any assistance
00:15:47getting off the field and Rodney
00:15:50Hampton makes the catch
00:15:51underneath and is tackled at the
00:15:5212 yard line.
00:15:54Sandy Carver the number one
00:15:55pick for the Cowboys from last
00:15:57year out of Arizona State comes
00:15:58in for Charles Haley and taking
00:16:03the lead on the sidelines.
00:16:04But I think it's probably and
00:16:06hopefully is going to just be a
00:16:08cramp.
00:16:08He was hobbling off.
00:16:09He was he did.
00:16:11He looked to be in pain.
00:16:12If it's a cramp it's a pretty
00:16:14darn good one.
00:16:16Third and three.
00:16:17Herschel Walker in the game
00:16:18along with Hampton in this set
00:16:22Herschel out of the pattern and
00:16:25Walker picks up the first down
00:16:26Herschel was out of bounds at
00:16:29the 20 Herschel made his NFL
00:16:31debut nine years ago tonight.
00:16:33At least it was the opening
00:16:34weekend of the season 1986 and
00:16:37it was his NFL debut.
00:16:39You'll recall he signed with
00:16:40Dallas after playing three years
00:16:42with the New Jersey Generals and
00:16:43made his debut against the
00:16:45Giants.
00:16:46Of course before that he played
00:16:47for the generals here and had a
00:16:49great two or three years with
00:16:51them and overall he's gained
00:16:52thirteen thousand yards in his
00:16:54career.
00:16:55If you put Philadelphia in there
00:16:57and Minnesota and Dallas
00:16:58and the Giants picking him up
00:17:00after they lost Dave make it to
00:17:02try to do some of the things
00:17:03make it did make it now with the
00:17:06Patriots step out and then
00:17:10steps out of bounds up at the
00:17:11twenty three yard line Herschel
00:17:15Walker.
00:17:15Well he's had a long career.
00:17:18I think he's finally getting the
00:17:20respect and the accolades that
00:17:23he's been due.
00:17:24The Cowboys for forty nine games
00:17:26and thirty three hundred yards
00:17:27the Vikings for forty two games
00:17:29and twenty two hundred the
00:17:31Eagles forty eight games and
00:17:32twenty three hundred is the only
00:17:33player in league history with
00:17:35either 20 touchdowns or 2000
00:17:37rushing yards to three different
00:17:39teams and to this day at age 33
00:17:44still plays on special teams and
00:17:47only two of the teams that he
00:17:48played for the years he was
00:17:50there were in the playoff.
00:17:51Yeah that's an amazing thing.
00:17:52Second down and eight and the
00:17:55catch is made by Callaway.
00:17:56That's a great point Frank and
00:17:58it's part of the reason I think
00:17:59he hasn't gotten his due.
00:18:00The fact he's he spent only two
00:18:02seasons on winning teams.
00:18:06Remarkable year with Dallas when
00:18:07he first went there fifteen
00:18:08hundred yards rushing and some
00:18:1050 receptions they use him in
00:18:12just about anything and
00:18:12everything.
00:18:14But again it was not a good year
00:18:17except for Herschel.
00:18:18It's kind of fun watching Jumbo
00:18:19Elliott the left tackle lock up
00:18:21with Shanti Carver the number one
00:18:23draft choice of last year.
00:18:25And he's a great guy.
00:18:26Jumbo is taking him to school a
00:18:28little bit here even though
00:18:29they're certainly on the losing
00:18:31side of the scoreboard third
00:18:33down and three and making the
00:18:37catch and he had the first down
00:18:38before he's wrestled back by
00:18:40Brown and Jones 3 10 to go in
00:18:44the third quarter the Dallas
00:18:46Cowboys picking right up as one
00:18:48of the elite teams in the league
00:18:49twenty eight to nothing they
00:18:51lead it.
00:18:52Most people feel that the
00:18:53forty niners and the Cowboys are
00:18:54a class of their own.
00:18:56One of the problems for the New
00:18:58York Giants I think is that is
00:18:59that when the schedule comes
00:19:00out you spend so many months
00:19:03looking at opening with the
00:19:04Dallas Cowboys and you spend so
00:19:06much time talking about closing
00:19:08that gap see what happens here
00:19:10on display completion but you
00:19:13talk so much and put so much
00:19:15effort into talking about how we
00:19:17have improved how we're able to
00:19:18compete with them how we are
00:19:19able to challenge them for the
00:19:21NFC East title and then you have
00:19:24a three hour span on a Monday
00:19:26night and it kind of comes
00:19:27crashing down and it's going to
00:19:29be very very interesting to see
00:19:31how Dan Reeves is able to
00:19:32regroup his football team because
00:19:34you they spent five months
00:19:36talking about this ballgame and
00:19:38they're getting blown out and
00:19:39that hurts hurts a lot and they
00:19:41have two road games coming up to
00:19:43at Kansas City Chiefs a big
00:19:45winner over Seattle and then at
00:19:46the end of the day first and 10
00:19:55the Dallas territory Darren
00:19:56Woodson makes the stop 10 and a
00:20:01first down Frank.
00:20:03One thing we know about Dan
00:20:04Reeves if it can be done he'll
00:20:06do it.
00:20:08He is one of the he's in that
00:20:10upper echelon of coaches in the
00:20:12National Football League.
00:20:13He's been there and seen it all
00:20:15and I don't think they'll have a
00:20:18problem regrouping.
00:20:18They're just not what they
00:20:19thought they were coming in
00:20:20either that or Dallas is maybe a
00:20:22lot better than they were given
00:20:24credit for being Phil Simms said
00:20:27something on the sidelines that
00:20:28truly could you just have to.
00:20:30He was doing it from a giant
00:20:33point of view but it is true and
00:20:35you just have to look at and say
00:20:37are the chances bad or is Dallas
00:20:39actually this good and very
00:20:41split so told us is a better
00:20:43football team than he's had
00:20:44there.
00:20:44Well there's no argument that
00:20:46Dallas is this good.
00:20:48I don't think that the Giants
00:20:49are alone and being in a
00:20:50position that this could happen
00:20:51to them tonight.
00:20:53I think there's quite a few
00:20:53teams in the league that could
00:20:54be on the on the same side of a
00:20:57pounding like this second and
00:20:59five tenth play of this drive
00:21:00which began at the giant five
00:21:02yard line and brown looking for
00:21:04Callaway and overthrows him
00:21:08minimal contact no flag Clayton
00:21:09Holmes covering on the play with
00:21:11a minute and one second remaining
00:21:12in the third quarter and Clayton
00:21:13Holmes did a fine job.
00:21:15They of course Kevin Smith out
00:21:17of the lineup they said Callaway
00:21:18with an out move and a deep move
00:21:20and Clayton Holmes figuring that
00:21:22Clayton Holmes wouldn't stay
00:21:23with him and he did a fine job
00:21:27so you lose Smith and you get
00:21:28Clayton Holmes stepping up and
00:21:31you get Deon looking on you get
00:21:33the I'm looking I will detail
00:21:34that we get into the fourth
00:21:35quarter number seventy two
00:21:37offense ten yards second Doug
00:21:41Riesenberg setting this drive
00:21:43and he's got a flag did you see
00:21:45a flag I know I did I didn't see
00:21:48a flag out there there's Doug
00:21:49right at the bottom there well
00:21:52that's a question where he gets
00:21:53too high and allows his man to
00:21:55get underneath him and that is
00:21:58Hervin McCormick I believe
00:22:00working against him not holding
00:22:01and that's all right sometimes
00:22:04have to explain it you see it
00:22:07every play yes you do it's it's
00:22:09tough to discern between good
00:22:11and good holding second and 15
00:22:16brown water balls one to the 31
00:22:18incomplete intended for Mike
00:22:20Gerard and if that if that
00:22:22didn't look like a field goal I
00:22:23don't know what would that ball
00:22:26in December would be out of the
00:22:28stadium again I mentioned jumbo
00:22:29Elliott and the job he's doing
00:22:31at left tackle let's zero in and
00:22:33see if we can watch him pass
00:22:35blocking there's Elliott 76
00:22:37working against Carver who tries
00:22:39to spin and look at the balance
00:22:40and he's got a nice work by
00:22:42jumbo Elliott just waits for him
00:22:44to spin come right back to him
00:22:45and then kind of dispatches him
00:22:47like yesterday's newspaper
00:22:49waited for him to jump and then
00:22:50just left him.
00:22:51Yeah nice work by jumbo Elliott
00:22:54sometimes today's paper as well
00:22:55yes third and 15 brown little
00:23:01shuttle first go Walker gets to
00:23:04the 40 yard line but he's still
00:23:06five yards shy of the first down
00:23:07and he's got a nice work by
00:23:09jumbo Elliott and he's got a
00:23:10nice work by jumbo Elliott
00:23:11around I think after the last
00:23:15time of working against Shantae
00:23:17Carver Dave Campo the defensive
00:23:19coordinator said Charles Haley
00:23:21into the game and you tell me
00:23:23guys is this holding watch Haley
00:23:24take the corner jumbo kind of
00:23:28locks him up a little bit and
00:23:29it's going to give him a look at
00:23:31that not me and that obviously
00:23:33was a cramp that troubled Haley
00:23:34earlier in the dance on fourth
00:23:36and five.
00:23:36Haley is getting those hands
00:23:38out of there and saying hey I'm
00:23:39clean fourth and five waning
00:23:42seconds of the quarter and
00:23:43theregoes jumbo jumbo jumbo
00:23:48fourth and you're killing me
00:23:51part of the snap number 76 and
00:23:54number 72 five yards fourth
00:23:58down both corners moving before
00:24:00the snap you wonder maybe if
00:24:02that perhaps was the snap
00:24:05that's an interesting you're
00:24:07right maybe it was let's see it
00:24:11a little late delivery on the
00:24:12part of Brian Williams is also
00:24:13playing her let's see if
00:24:14everybody else goes certainly
00:24:16both tackles go the guards
00:24:18wouldn't go because their men
00:24:19are playing straight up on him
00:24:20so I think is Brian Williams
00:24:21just late with the ball
00:24:25meanwhile the quarter looks to
00:24:26me like it looks to me like
00:24:28jumbos coming out with a finger
00:24:29up in the air saying I'm number
00:24:30one now boys are number one
00:24:33right now at least 28 nothing
00:24:34after three we'll return with

00:25:16a bad card
00:25:18who decided at what point that
00:25:20it was acceptable to fry a
00:25:21burger this goes against
00:25:23millions of years of
00:25:24evolutionary instinct I'm sorry
00:25:25but burgers taste best cooked
00:25:26over an open flame it's how the
00:25:28caveman did it it's how dad did
00:25:30that's how Burger King does I
00:25:32take the walker big hunk of beef
00:25:35cooked over actual fire now only
00:25:3799 cents millions of years after
00:25:39the first burger it's only 99
00:25:41cents that's got to be pretty
00:25:43close to what it cost back then
00:25:45right Burger King get your

00:29:20this resolved by Friday
00:29:22diligently pursuing it absolutely
00:29:24looking for a long term deal as
00:29:25many as five years Dion wants the
00:29:28opportunity to play on offense
00:29:30wide receiver he will be Dion's
00:29:32decision not a decision made by

00:29:43manager said last year we made
00:29:45the biggest offer we're very
00:29:47interested in Dion but there's
00:29:48been no contact over the past
00:29:49week Pat Bolin of the Broncos
00:29:52said that Dion and Mike
00:29:53Shanahan have gotten together we
00:29:54are serious not just PR and Pat
00:29:57says it's not our style to wave
00:29:58our arms and jump up and down but
00:30:00we're serious about it Carmen
00:30:02policy of the forty niners said
00:30:03today that we're prepared to
00:30:05make the offer and policy and
00:30:08Eugene Parker will get together
00:30:10on Wednesday with some wonderful
00:30:21ballet work toys with Thomas
00:30:24Randolph and makes a sensational
00:30:27catch we talked about it at the
00:30:28very beginning of the game it
00:30:29almost had to happen Thomas
00:30:31Randolph giving up about five
00:30:33inches but watch on the replay
00:30:36the use of Michael Irving's
00:30:37hands Irvin is absolutely the
00:30:42best at getting distance from
00:30:44the defender here he is working
00:30:45man on man with Randolph
00:30:47Randolph gets beat initially
00:30:50look at this that right hand is
00:30:51pushing his head away very
00:30:53subtly very suddenly and not
00:30:54enough to draw the flag he's
00:30:56good at it I tell you what's
00:30:57important about that route
00:30:58though run by Irvin that's a
00:30:59route that a year ago would have
00:31:00been run by Alvin Harper and
00:31:03Smith who has three touchdowns
00:31:05tonight you know Alvin Harper
00:31:07got those long balls he's the
00:31:08guy that got the fly patterns
00:31:10while Michael was doing the
00:31:11tough work underneath this is
00:31:13where Michael Irvin look for him
00:31:14this season to get a lot more of
00:31:16these types of dolls thrown his
00:31:18direction because of the absence
00:31:19of Harper's penalty on the play
00:31:22off side against the Giants
00:31:24look at that concentration holds
00:31:26that thing and clutches it just
00:31:28with the right hand and the
00:31:29right forearm Randolph's got a
00:31:30hold of his left arm but right
00:31:32arm from here he takes it with
00:31:34his right arm from here it's
00:31:35nothing but right arm look at
00:31:37that that's great athleticism
00:31:41the Cowboy team record for most
00:31:43touchdowns in the game is four
00:31:45held by several including Emmett
00:31:47Smith as of this moment Emmett
00:31:53Smith that's the second time he
00:31:56has scored four touchdowns in
00:31:58the game the other Cowboys to do
00:32:00it Dwayne Thomas Calvin Hill Bob
00:32:02and of all people Dan Reeves as
00:32:05a cowboy running back in 1967
00:32:09somehow I think it's lost on
00:32:11Dan Reeves there it is there's
00:32:15the grouping Smith did it in
00:32:17nineteen ninety and again
00:32:20tonight but it's not over
00:32:21tonight now he may have a new
00:32:22one but he may be done for the
00:32:24guy I would I'd be surprised to
00:32:26see him in this contest any
00:32:28longer Gary may ask Sherman
00:32:32to finish it up.
00:32:33Bono with a point after 12 33
00:32:35remaining in the fourth quarter
00:32:37the Cowboys all smiles and why
00:32:39not 35 zip on its way to the
00:32:51parking lot there can be some
00:32:53nice traffic jams here at the
00:32:54Meadowlands at 1230 and 1 a.m.
00:32:56in the morning I think tonight
00:32:58I think it'll be a more it'll
00:33:00be a more productive work day
00:33:03metropolitan New York area
00:33:04tomorrow because of this came
00:33:07early leaving early Baker sends
00:33:13it to the five yard line
00:33:14up at the 22 yard line with 12
00:33:18twenty two remaining in the
00:33:20fourth quarter thirty five to
00:33:22nothing and the Dallas Cowboys
00:33:28have been the stars tonight and
00:33:30the Giants have been striped
00:33:32thirty five to nothing and the
00:33:35Dallas Cowboys have been the
00:33:37stars tonight and the Giants
00:33:39have been striped thirty five to
00:33:42Dave Brown Hampton anyway to
00:33:46crystallize we started to talk
00:33:47about the Sanders and we talked
00:33:48about some of the teams that are
00:33:51interested in them there's one
00:33:52other team the Philadelphia
00:33:53Eagles Bob Ackles their
00:33:57personnel man said today that
00:33:59we're still in it but considered
00:34:00a dark horse Ray Rhodes their
00:34:02coach and Dion have a good
00:34:03relationship but clearly the
00:34:05Giants are going to have to
00:34:06we're still in it but considered
00:34:07a dark horse Ray Rhodes their
00:34:09coach and Dion have a good
00:34:10relationship but clearly it's
00:34:12another battle between Dallas
00:34:13and San Francisco for the most
00:34:15part right now.
00:34:16And Carmen policy said we're
00:34:18prepared to make the offer.
00:34:20Carmen wants to go last in this
00:34:22ballgame.
00:34:23There's there's no doubt of that
00:34:24that he wants.
00:34:25He feels he deserves to be come
00:34:28to as the last guy in the
00:34:30scenario where he can either
00:34:31match an offer or top one.
00:34:34Wouldn't it.
00:34:34Don't you sense that.
00:34:35Absolutely.
00:34:35Aaron Pierce made the catch that
00:34:37Dion of course Pierce looks like
00:34:39he's hurt.
00:34:40They work on Pierce Dion plays
00:34:42for the San Francisco Giants of
00:34:44the 49ers are clearly hoping that
00:34:46that comes into play that he can
00:34:48play both sports in the same
00:34:49city.
00:34:50Anyway there's an injury timeout
00:34:51here for Pierce with a level 3
00:34:53left in the fourth quarter.
00:34:57Harris walked off the field on
00:34:59his own.
00:34:59Here's to be as badly hurt as it
00:35:01looked.
00:35:02Remarkably walked off on a third
00:35:04down to well he slides to a
00:35:10halt at the 30 yard line and it
00:35:11will be fourth down and two and
00:35:15there is Aaron Pierce Giants on
00:35:21the verge of getting shut out
00:35:22the last time that happened
00:35:24Halloween night or day 1976 in
00:35:28the third game played at the
00:35:29stadium.
00:35:30John McVeigh his first game as
00:35:32the head coach as the Eagles
00:35:33won it 10 to nothing.
00:35:37Mike Horan to kick Dallas has
00:35:45never shut the Giants out in the
00:35:48history of this rivalry flag is
00:35:50down at the line of scrimmage as
00:35:51the ball rolls to a halt at the
00:35:5420 yard line 22 yard line
00:35:57McElwee is the referee country
00:36:01Joe Amazon the special teams
00:36:02head coach and the call is
00:36:06against the Giants Cowboys will
00:36:09decline legal formation six men
00:36:12on the line of scrimmage against
00:36:15the offense that penalty is
00:36:16declined first down time out
00:36:24and 51 remaining a giant
00:36:26different Jersey different kind
00:36:28of Jersey.
00:36:29I wonder what how Michael Irvin
00:36:30will feel when Deion centers if
00:36:33he does should come to Dallas
00:36:35and they put him on offense is
00:36:37very split so told us he was
00:36:38perfectly willing to do to put
00:36:41some offensive plays in for him
00:36:42yesterday when we were talking
00:36:44with him.
00:36:46Well first of all nothing
00:36:47changes the entire concept of a
00:36:49defensive team like speed.
00:36:51You put Deion Sanders on one
00:36:53side that will instantly make
00:36:54things easier for Michael Irvin
00:36:56on the other.
00:36:57Here's Wade Wilson and the
00:36:58quarterback right now.
00:36:59Sherman Williams picks it up and
00:37:03the other thing about one other
00:37:04thing we should point out about
00:37:05Deion before talking about his
00:37:07future and speculating a lot of
00:37:09people think he is a baseball
00:37:11free agent at the end of the
00:37:12season.
00:37:12That is not the case.
00:37:14He is arbitration eligible.
00:37:16And if the Giants the San
00:37:18Francisco Giants elect to go to
00:37:20arbitration he still belongs to
00:37:22them which could be significant
00:37:23if he was a free agent you might
00:37:25want to think about playing with
00:37:27the Dolphins and the Marlins or
00:37:28the Cowboys and the Rangers or
00:37:30what have you.
00:37:30You know that baseball stuff.
00:37:31Well a little bit of it is Wade
00:37:35Wilson a major impact goes to
00:37:36Williams top pick out of
00:37:43Alabama scoots up toward
00:37:46midfield.
00:37:47So clearly the forty niners feel
00:37:48they'd love to see Deion remain
00:37:50with the San Francisco Giants
00:37:52and that that would give him a
00:37:53better chance.
00:37:53But Jerry Jones has been very
00:37:54sanguine about his chances of
00:37:56signing him.
00:37:57And I think what you what you
00:37:58sense and you get a feel for
00:38:00this it's it's somebody and one
00:38:04of these teams that you've
00:38:05chronicled tonight somebody is
00:38:07going to throw Deion an offer
00:38:09that's going to be staggering.
00:38:10It's going to involve a signing
00:38:12bonus that's mind boggling.
00:38:15It's really going to receive a
00:38:21couple of years ago an eleven
00:38:22million dollar signing bonus
00:38:25from the Dallas Cowboys.
00:38:26It's not out of the realm of
00:38:27possibility that if we're
00:38:28talking a four or five year deal
00:38:30that Deion is talking about a
00:38:31bonus somewhere in that range
00:38:34to go out into the future with
00:38:35your salary cap with that
00:38:36signing bonus.
00:38:37Oh yeah.
00:38:38It factors out.
00:38:38It's it's a substantial amount
00:38:41of money for a guy mortgaging
00:38:42what you're doing.
00:38:44Well it's a it's a heck of a
00:38:45signing bonus for a guy who gets
00:38:46there the first week of October.
00:38:48There are a lot of very happy
00:38:50accountants and lawyers around
00:38:53tonight.
00:38:55He's just going to get very
00:38:56interesting.
00:38:57We mentioned before and it's
00:38:58really too complex and we don't
00:39:00have the proper form to really
00:39:01mull it over but it's a big
00:39:03business story.
00:39:03The Nike cowboy merger tonight
00:39:08in effect which is going to
00:39:09create a lot more dollars a lot
00:39:11more revenue for for the
00:39:13Cowboys not that they can use it
00:39:14under the cap.
00:39:15But Deion's a Nike client and
00:39:17what if Nike says hey Deion we
00:39:19we'd like you to play with the
00:39:20Cowboys.
00:39:21It's interesting too that it
00:39:22happened here at Giants Stadium
00:39:23last year the genesis of revenue
00:39:27sharing was generated by the late
00:39:29Jack Mara who in the first major
00:39:31television contract said to the
00:39:34rest of the league we will share
00:39:36equally even though we are the
00:39:37New York franchise we are with
00:39:40ordinarily receive more income
00:39:41we will share equally and that's
00:39:42where it all began the revenue
00:39:44sharing here's the swing pass to
00:39:47Williams who takes it to the 49
00:39:49Jones wanted to make it very
00:39:50clear he understands revenue
00:39:53sharing in terms of television
00:39:55in terms of gate receipts he
00:39:56knows it's important he knows
00:39:58it's very important for
00:39:58competitive balance but he also
00:40:00feels basically that NFL
00:40:02properties contributes only
00:40:04about 90 million dollars to all
00:40:07of the teams combined and he
00:40:09thinks as he puts it I can grow
00:40:11that pie I can make that pie
00:40:13staggering he is talking about
00:40:15altering in the way Jerry
00:40:17describes it 5 percent of a
00:40:20team's gross revenues that's the
00:40:22that's what he doesn't want to
00:40:23share what comprises 5 percent
00:40:25of a team's income he's saying
00:40:27we can do better certainly the
00:40:29Dallas Cowboys can do better the
00:40:31question is can the Cincinnati
00:40:32Bengals do better can the Tampa
00:40:34Bay Buccaneers do better and
00:40:36Jerry thinks you know Jerry
00:40:38Jones he has an answer for
00:40:40everybody who says we can't be
00:40:41done hey hire me I'll come down
00:40:44and do it for you he's he's very
00:40:46vocal about saying that you
00:40:48don't think you can do it hey
00:40:49pay me a commission I'll come
00:40:50down and I don't think we'll
00:40:51get it done.
00:40:52So we're going to get a call
00:40:53from the team in Cincinnati right
00:40:54away.
00:40:54Penalty here.
00:40:56Joe Abasano upset about the call
00:40:58which will go against the
00:40:58Cowboys after jet punts it into
00:41:01the end zone.
00:41:02We're not in the we're not in
00:41:03the NFL's inner circle we're not
00:41:05one of the owners and we're not
00:41:06the commissioner.
00:41:07But this will be a very active
00:41:09week for Tim Clark.
00:41:1215 yard face man that penalty is
00:41:15declined.
00:41:16First down.
00:41:18I know.
00:41:18seven twenty six left on opening
00:41:20night all Cowboys high point
00:41:28station as a new network and new
00:41:29call letters and obviously we're
00:41:32very pleased to welcome them to
00:41:33our team.
00:41:34Say hello to all those furniture
00:41:35people down there.
00:41:36WXL V TV forty five.
00:41:40Winston Salem Greensboro high
00:41:42point.
00:41:43This is being shot from somewhat
00:41:45of a high point right here.
00:41:45The blimp void is it next week.
00:41:51Our blimp shots will come from
00:41:53Chicago.
00:41:55The Green Bay Packers taking on
00:41:56the Chicago Bears week two on
00:41:58Monday night football and the
00:42:01rest of our month features
00:42:02Pittsburgh get Miami week three
00:42:04and then San Francisco at
00:42:06Detroit week for Brown.
00:42:10The official started to go for
00:42:13the flag and then said no.
00:42:15Larry Brown and Thomas Lewis
00:42:17were there.
00:42:18All that kind of a funny little
00:42:19talk to it.
00:42:21Someone a little earlier that
00:42:22looked a little wounded that
00:42:24one had kind of a funny spin to
00:42:26it.
00:42:29Does that mean it wobbles.
00:42:30Well yeah.
00:42:31I'm really wobbling bounce right
00:42:35off a little bit.
00:42:36I mean it's a little wobbly.
00:42:37I mean it's a little wobbly.
00:42:38Bounce right off a Lewis's face
00:42:40man is what it did 718 left
00:42:45Cowboys on top 35 to nothing
00:42:47second and 10 from the 20 yard
00:42:48line.
00:42:49Keith Elias is in the ball game
00:42:50now I see the running back from
00:42:53Princeton.
00:42:54Back areas with the ball.
00:42:56It takes the side arm pass and
00:42:57picks up 13 yards.
00:42:59Schwartz lays one on him up at
00:43:01the thirty three yard line pick
00:43:03up a 13 Elias the most
00:43:05productive back for the Giants
00:43:07during their preseason.
00:43:08He's kind of their Rudy here
00:43:09with the Giants.
00:43:10He came out of Princeton made
00:43:12scrapped and fought made his
00:43:13team a year ago as a free agent.
00:43:15No one thought he'd be around.
00:43:17Tyrone Wheatley the great
00:43:18running back from Michigan was
00:43:19the number one draft pick.
00:43:20Well he broke some ribs and so
00:43:24Keith Elias wound up making this
00:43:25football team again and was the
00:43:27most productive back they had
00:43:28during preseason.
00:43:29He can do a lot of things from
00:43:30the 33 yard line here's Brown
00:43:34Lewis makes the catch I would
00:43:35suggest this could be the first
00:43:36game in the history of the
00:43:37National Football League
00:43:38featuring two guys from
00:43:40Princeton and no players from
00:43:43Notre Dame.
00:43:43That is the case.
00:43:45Elias and Jason Garrett the
00:43:46number three quarterback from
00:43:48the Cowboys.
00:43:49They were teammates Garrett a
00:43:51year older than the than Elias.
00:43:53Of course the way Notre Dame
00:43:54played on Saturday.
00:43:56We may be looking at a game down
00:43:58the road where we have four guys
00:44:00from Northwestern and nobody
00:44:01from Notre Dame.
00:44:06Second and seven at the thirty
00:44:07six.
00:44:08Lou just twitched.
00:44:19At Michigan we used to go play
00:44:20Northwestern every year and back
00:44:22then they weren't a great deal
00:44:24of competition for both
00:44:26Schembechler teams and we'd get
00:44:29out of the bus at the stadium
00:44:30and there always be a big sign
00:44:31hanging there that said you may
00:44:33beat us today.
00:44:33Kind of a pompous attitude I
00:44:35thought Tyrone Wheatley the
00:44:37number one pick with the ribs
00:44:40that will probably be well
00:44:43enough for him to play in a
00:44:44couple of weeks.
00:44:45He brings something to the table
00:44:46it's called.
00:44:48Big man who's really fast.
00:44:52Tyrone Wheatley for a man who
00:44:54weighs two hundred and twenty
00:44:55five pounds when he gets into
00:44:57the open field he will not be
00:44:58caught.
00:44:59The second half of the game
00:45:00against the Cowboys.
00:45:01When he does come back with
00:45:02Rodney Hampton the plans to get
00:45:05them both in the game at the
00:45:06same time kind of got on Dan's
00:45:10bad side didn't he right off
00:45:11the what was it the first day
00:45:12of training camp for a long time
00:45:14and then he pulled his gluteus
00:45:17maximus for the first day he
00:45:19came in.
00:45:20Yeah he was late coming to camp
00:45:21for the first day left the field
00:45:23limping.
00:45:26I think it was a little bit
00:45:27here is Elias to the 48 yard.
00:45:29I don't know.
00:45:30I've only ever dealt with the
00:45:31gluteus maximus tried to make it
00:45:36more minimus but it's more
00:45:38maximus than minimus Elias
00:45:44working for all the local news
00:45:45rooms around the country hard on
00:45:50the ground that's right.
00:45:52Third down and one Herschel
00:45:57Walker is back in the game at a
00:45:59forty seven yard line for 15
00:46:01left.
00:46:02Cowboys on top thirty five to
00:46:03nothing Walker to the forty five
00:46:11yard line and that'll be a
00:46:12first down there's Ray
00:46:13Donaldson so many years with the
00:46:15Colts the oldest active lineman
00:46:18now in the NFL.
00:46:19Jackie Slater is on the
00:46:20physically unable to perform
00:46:21list at St. Louis.
00:46:22Donaldson though he's been
00:46:23around so long he played with
00:46:25the Baltimore Colts only a
00:46:27couple of those guys left.
00:46:29What Ron Stark is he still in
00:46:31the league yet.
00:46:32Hunting a great 37 years old.
00:46:34He's a great guy.
00:46:35He's a great guy.
00:46:36He's a great guy.
00:46:37He's a great guy.
00:46:38He's a great guy.
00:46:39He's a great guy.
00:46:39He's a great guy.
00:46:40He's a great guy.
00:46:41He's a great guy.
00:46:41He's a great guy.
00:46:41He's a great guy.
00:46:42He's a great guy.
00:46:43He's a great guy.
00:46:44He's a great guy.
00:46:45He's a great guy.
00:46:46He's a great guy.
00:46:47He's a great guy.
00:46:47He's a great guy.
00:46:53Ray Donaldson has spent very
00:46:55little of his career though and
00:46:56postseason play so a great
00:46:58opportunity in Dallas.
00:47:00He is the number one center.
00:47:01Now with Mark Stepnowski having
00:47:03gone to the Houston Oilers and
00:47:05passes rocked by Chris Callaway.
00:47:09Well I think if Ray Donaldson
00:47:10just stays healthy.
00:47:11his entry into postseason play
00:47:13is guaranteed.
00:47:17They don't make enough bad
00:47:18things that could happen to this
00:47:20football team to keep them out
00:47:22of the playoffs.
00:47:23Good look at Mark to a number
00:47:2471 there who has turned into an
00:47:27outstanding Pro Bowl tackle on
00:47:29the left side.
00:47:30We talked so much about Eric
00:47:31Williams two and a started as a
00:47:33defensive lineman for the
00:47:34Cowboys 13 years ago and went to
00:47:37the what went to the Pro Bowl
00:47:38last year for the very first
00:47:40time first time worst shutout
00:47:46losses at home for the Giants
00:47:48and that goes all the way back
00:47:49to the pre giant stadium days
00:47:51Pittsburgh 27 zip and 76 and
00:47:55then a couple of skunkings by
00:47:56Baltimore and take our word for
00:47:58it coming into tonight.
00:47:59That was not a graphic that we
00:48:01had planned on putting a third
00:48:05down and 10.
00:48:06Glad you didn't find that in my
00:48:07career Steve down there smoking
00:48:12computers Clayton Holmes and
00:48:20Mike Schwartz and Holmes wants
00:48:22a flag and doesn't get it just
00:48:24breaks the play up Clayton
00:48:27Holmes has made a couple of
00:48:28pretty fine plays since he
00:48:29replaced Kevin Smith tonight
00:48:34third round draft pick out of
00:48:36Carson Newman a couple of years
00:48:38ago that was really an
00:48:42outstanding play by sure was to
00:48:44break up what looked like a
00:48:45sure interception.
00:48:46Holmes was at a direct line on
00:48:49that baby so the Giants on
00:48:52fourth and 10 now at the 45 yard
00:48:56line and Brown's pass is
00:49:04incomplete.
00:49:06So Holmes does the job.
00:49:08Harold was the intended
00:49:09receiver and he appears to be
00:49:11hurt.
00:49:12So I'm getting up and just not
00:49:16find coverage in the part of the
00:49:18Cowboys secondary.
00:49:21They've run a lot of time no
00:49:22place to put it.
00:49:23This is one of those deals here
00:49:25where three minutes to the left
00:49:27in the ballgame and you're
00:49:28getting players hurt.
00:49:29This is where you're kind of
00:49:30looking for Vinnie Vecchione to
00:49:31run in from the corner.
00:49:35That's what the Giants would
00:49:37like to get this over with Gary
00:49:45Harold the flea still down on
00:49:47the field rolled up there by
00:49:49Clayton Holmes playing the ball
00:49:53tabloids will have a field day
00:49:55tomorrow.
00:49:57Hudson Street is a new show on
00:49:58ABC it starts on Tuesday
00:50:00September the 19th.
00:50:01Lori Loughlin is one of the
00:50:03stars and Tony Danza is back
00:50:06beginning the 19th of September.
00:50:10Let's see the tabloids Jets lose
00:50:12yesterday they get killed 52 to
00:50:1514 to the post as a one word
00:50:17headline on the back page joke
00:50:21Daily News had Rich Cotite
00:50:23Specter K.O. tight they were
00:50:27just warming up though for what's
00:50:28going to appear tomorrow I would
00:50:30think this might be a little
00:50:32late for them 45 yard line that
00:50:36would benefit the Giants as
00:50:38Lang.
00:50:39So what's Reed just going to do
00:50:40on the show tomorrow.
00:50:41Now that I've read the
00:50:41headlines he'll be wearing black
00:50:43for Notre Dame.
00:50:43You know that.
00:50:44Yeah no chance of Kathy bringing
00:50:48it up is there in the opening
00:50:51billboard.
00:50:53Teller tell her she owes us.
00:50:56There is Switzer in the second
00:50:57year.
00:51:00Happy to be here.
00:51:02Second down and three at the 48
00:51:12Wilson Sherman Williams the
00:51:17last look at Emmitt Smith the
00:51:19way the switcher sometimes gets
00:51:20criticized for not being able to
00:51:22look at Emmitt Smith the way
00:51:24switcher sometimes gets
00:51:25criticized last year.
00:51:26I mean he did he did a
00:51:27remarkable job when you think
00:51:29about it you come in a team has
00:51:31won two Super Bowls you take
00:51:32over for a tremendously
00:51:33successful coach.
00:51:35He did it perfectly.
00:51:35He let he let it just flow and
00:51:39then all of a sudden he gets
00:51:40criticized because they didn't
00:51:41get to the Super Bowl that oh it
00:51:42wasn't his team and he didn't
00:51:44really coach by 10 points.
00:51:46They didn't get right.
00:51:47Yeah they want they had five bad
00:51:49minutes in San Francisco and
00:51:50that was the end of it.
00:51:51And from that point on played
00:51:53one of the greatest football
00:51:54games I've ever had the
00:51:56privilege to see the street
00:51:57fumbles early on and after that
00:52:02never one ounce of foot in any
00:52:04of the game.
00:52:05And at the end they still had a
00:52:07chance to win it.
00:52:14He was perhaps the greatest
00:52:15running back the game has ever
00:52:17known.
00:52:18And on the day he set the NFL's
00:52:20all time rushing record his
00:52:22uniform was sent to the Hall of
00:52:23Fame.
00:52:25His own arrival was only a
00:52:27matter of time.
00:52:28Hi I'm Walter Payton.
00:52:30My induction to Pro Football's
00:52:31Hall of Fame is an honor that
00:52:33will always be special to me.
00:52:35But that honor was made even
00:52:36more special because my son
00:52:39Jared presented me for
00:52:40enshrinement something that no
00:52:41other son has done for his
00:52:42father.
00:52:43Your friends and your fans I say
00:52:46congratulations to.
00:52:51We're both thrilled with the
00:52:52hall itself a treasure chest of
00:52:54football history with this
00:52:55regal enshrinement gallery it's
00:52:57action theater it's authentic
00:52:59mementos and exhibitions from
00:53:01100 years of pro football.
00:53:03The hall does more than
00:53:05celebrate the game I love.
00:53:06It lets the future touch the
00:53:08past.
00:53:09The Hall of Fame where legends
00:53:10never die and the season never
00:53:12ends.
00:53:13This message furnished by the
00:53:14National Football League.
00:53:15Third down Sherman Williams
00:53:17takes the ball and is stopped at
00:53:19the 45 yard line close to a
00:53:21first down as this one winds
00:53:23down the Dallas Cowboys clearly
00:53:27the creme de la creme along with
00:53:28the 49ers and the Giants simply
00:53:32trying to regroup in the NFC
00:53:35East which had some interesting
00:53:36outcomes yesterday.
00:53:37Philadelphia upset by Tampa Bay
00:53:40Washington knocking off Arizona
00:53:42and impressively so Philadelphia
00:53:46losing.
00:53:46Yep.
00:53:47So Dallas so have a one game
00:53:50lead in the NFC East although
00:53:54be tied with Washington.
00:53:58Someday by the Redskins
00:53:59yesterday piling up what 230 240
00:54:03yards rushing on one of the fine
00:54:06defensive teams in the NFC East
00:54:08and the Giants.
00:54:09They're going to have a one game
00:54:11lead in the NFC East and the
00:54:12Giants are the only two
00:54:14defensive teams against the run
00:54:16in the league.
00:54:17The Arizona Cardinals pretty
00:54:19impressive performance by North
00:54:21Turner and his group there in
00:54:22Washington Dave Brown.
00:54:27He's got to make something
00:54:27happen with a giant passing game
00:54:29Frank or no matter how talented
00:54:32they are running the football
00:54:33which they are.
00:54:34It's going to be tough for them
00:54:35to get the first down.
00:54:36He may have even picked up the
00:54:37first down.
00:54:38They fumbled forward enough to
00:54:40get the first.
00:54:40That's that's the way it's gone
00:54:41tonight.
00:54:42That's that's kind of sums it up
00:54:44fourth down you fumble and the
00:54:46ball bounces forward you recover
00:54:48for a first down everything
00:54:50tonight right for the Cowboys and
00:54:52wrong for the boys in blue.
00:54:54See Nate Newton still in the
00:54:55ballgame there.
00:54:56Number 61.
00:54:57Big Nate all the way down to
00:54:59around three hundred and twenty
00:55:01pounds from about four hundred
00:55:05even an 80 pound loss.
00:55:08Well the Jets and the Giants
00:55:09both getting ripped on the
00:55:11opening weekend.
00:55:12Eighty seven fourteen the
00:55:14composite score had the Yankees
00:55:19do today if they won if they won
00:55:24again they lost yesterday to the
00:55:27A's on this one winding down and
00:55:30the Yankees will have a fun trip
00:55:33back to D.F.W. tonight Switzer
00:55:38and the gang to take on the
00:55:39Denver Broncos we will next see
00:55:41Dallas on a Monday night in
00:55:43November against the Philadelphia
00:55:45Eagles and then we'll see them
00:55:46at the end of the year against
00:55:47the Arizona Cardinals on
00:55:51Christmas night.
00:55:54So Barry Switzer with a juggernaut
00:55:56again this year.
00:55:57The Cowboys beat the Giants 35
00:55:59nothing next week we'll be in
00:56:01Chicago it's the Bears taking on
00:56:03the Green Bay Packers until then
00:56:05now Michael Frank for Dan
00:56:07Deardorff Lynn Swan.
00:56:09Good night from Giants Stadium
00:56:30Labor Day is ending now as
00:56:32summer takes its final bow we'll
00:56:34pay homage to Cal's great chase
00:56:36and check out the wild card race
00:56:39where the Yankees try to turn the
00:56:40tide the Rangers can't run away
00:56:43and hide and guess who's creeping
00:56:45up the other side.
00:56:46Are you ready for Monday night.
00:56:48Emmitt Smith a TD in sight
00:56:50Sunday's postmortems and new
00:56:51tidbits.
00:56:52How will the season go.
00:56:59How did the Steelers survive
00:57:00these hits.
00:57:01Monica Penn's another chapter.
00:57:03Would she take Huber.
00:57:05Yeah she laughed her.
00:57:07But even though summer's ending
00:57:08this year with fall approaching
00:57:09you have nothing to fear.
00:57:11I'm running out of things to
00:57:12rhyme.
00:57:13Sports Center is next.
00:57:20Good evening.
00:57:21Good morning.
00:57:22Welcome to the big show.
00:57:23Alongside my tag team partner
00:57:24Keith Oberman I'm Dan Patrick
00:57:26coming up on Sports Center the
00:57:27big games from the wild card
00:57:28Sunday's A.L. and N.L. varieties
00:57:30will total up the body count
00:57:31from Sunday's NFL action and
00:57:32it's a football team.
00:57:33It's a theme park.
00:57:34It's a controversy.
00:57:36It's all three in one.
00:57:37But first Phil Sims look pretty
00:57:39good.
00:57:40Yes he did.
00:57:40There was one quarterback on the
00:57:41field for the Giants the Cowboys
00:57:43entered the 1995 season trying
00:57:45to keep Emmitt Smith healthy and
00:57:47hoping to make Deion Sanders
00:57:48happy mere days before number 21
00:57:51announces his football future.
00:57:52Number 22 paid a visit to the
00:57:54Meadowlands for a date with the
00:57:55Cowboys Emmitt his game face on.
00:58:00So did Troy first quarter no
00:58:01score.
00:58:02Troy Emmitt gone 60 yards for
00:58:07the score.
00:58:08Switzer loves it.
00:58:10The Cowboys go up 7 nothing
00:58:13later in the first Aikman
00:58:15decides to go up top J.
00:58:17Novacek the short pass.
00:58:21He turns into a big gain to the
00:58:24quarter same drive third and to
00:58:26Aikman Michael Irvin.
00:58:27They make it look so easy 14
00:58:29nothing boys.
00:58:31The first half though belong to
00:58:32Emmitt fakes out Thomas Randolph
00:58:37then goes out of bounds.
00:58:38He would have 100 yards before
00:58:39halftime that set up first and
00:58:41goal.
00:58:42Guess who comes calling Emmitt
00:58:44in out in 21 nothing Cowboys
00:58:47scary moment for Dallas.
00:58:49Watch number 26.
00:58:50Kevin Smith seemed to hurt his
00:58:51right foot.
00:58:52Still don't have a medical
00:58:53update on that injury.
00:58:55We hope to get that from Leslie
00:58:57Visser who was at the
00:58:57Meadowlands at halftime.
00:59:00Phil Sims honored his jersey
00:59:02retired.
00:59:04There was one giant quarterback
00:59:05on the field.
00:59:07Number 11 is retired much to the
00:59:09chagrin of the packed stadium.
00:59:11Emmitt they may want to retire
00:59:14his jersey after this
00:59:15performance.
00:59:16Another big game goes out of the
00:59:17one yard line that set up.
00:59:19Who else Emmitt do you think
00:59:21Emmitt answered some of his
00:59:23critics his skeptics who said he
00:59:25wasn't working hard in the
00:59:26offseason.
00:59:26Twenty eight nothing boys they
00:59:28keep rolling in the fourth
00:59:29Aikman goes deep.
00:59:30Michael Irvin makes an
00:59:31incredible catch at the one yard
00:59:33line.
00:59:35Actually for Michael Irvin that's
00:59:36a Michael Irvin catch down to
00:59:39the line and yet Emmitt again
00:59:42fourth touchdown of the game
00:59:44tying a cowboy record.
00:59:46The former cowboy Dan Reeves
00:59:47isn't happy.
00:59:48Emmitt is so are the Cowboys as
00:59:50they win it by the final of 35
00:59:52to nothing.
00:59:53Emmitt goes for one hundred and
00:59:54sixty three yards in his last
00:59:57five games against the Giants
00:59:59one hundred and fifty two
01:00:00carries eight hundred and twenty
01:00:03yards and ten touchdowns.
01:00:05The first time the Cowboys have
01:00:06ever shut out the New York
01:00:07Giants.
01:00:08The Cowboys have won seven of
01:00:10nine over the G-Men.
01:00:11We've just received a medical
01:00:12update.
01:00:13Kevin Smith has a strained
01:00:14Achilles tendon and MRI will
01:00:18take place on Tuesday.
01:00:19We will check in with Leslie
01:00:20Visser we'll hear from the
01:00:21winners from Giants Stadium
01:00:23coming up momentarily.
01:00:26Meanwhile how bloody was the
01:00:27first weekend of the NFL action.
01:00:28Five guys hurt yesterday five
01:00:30quarterback guys that is
01:00:32ranging from guys who popped
01:00:33right back up like Mike Tomczak
01:00:34of the Steelers to guys who did
01:00:36not like O'Donnell of the
01:00:37Steelers.
01:00:38In short on the NFL's first
01:00:40re-examination Monday of 1995
01:00:42there were no good surprises
01:00:43health wise or Heath wise.
01:00:45Heath Shuler that is one of the
01:00:47quarterbacks who fell against
01:00:49the cards Clyde Simmons and
01:00:51against the turf.
01:00:52It is a grade one sprain of his
01:00:54right shoulder.
01:00:54He gets a grade one.
01:00:55Congratulations.
01:00:56He's out two four weeks and
01:00:58thanks to your teammates for
01:00:59hitting you on the shoulder as
01:01:00he walks off in Denver.
01:01:02The lineman Michael Dean Perry
01:01:04was held on this play by Reuben
01:01:05Brown as a result of the hold
01:01:08and the ferocity.
01:01:10There was a partially torn knee
01:01:11ligament.
01:01:11Now this one is not even close
01:01:12to being definitive three to 12
01:01:14weeks he's out Seattle in his
01:01:16first game with the Seahawks.
01:01:17He pro makes the catch and
01:01:19breaks the fibula the right
01:01:20fibula.
01:01:20He's out two months that would
01:01:21be eight weeks and one more in
01:01:23Chicago.
01:01:24The Bears fullback Raymond
01:01:26Harris he caught a pass and
01:01:28caught his collarbone broken
01:01:29falling out of bounds.
01:01:30He's out two to three months in
01:01:32Jacksonville.
01:01:33James Stewart did not say this
01:01:35is a wonderful life in the NFL
01:01:37hit by a host of Oilers in his
01:01:38first pro game sprained his
01:01:40shoulder.
01:01:41He's listed as day to day.
01:01:42It feels worse.
01:01:43Also from that game the Oilers
01:01:45QB Chris Chandler got a bruised
01:01:47shoulder aggravated it on that
01:01:49throw but is expected to
01:01:50practice on Wednesday.
01:01:51So no Eric McNair not yet.
01:01:53Anyway also Raiders tackle
01:01:55Gerald Perry broke his forearm
01:01:56and is out indefinitely.
01:01:58Steve Law the Dallas Cowboys
01:01:59have defeated the New York
01:02:00Giants at home on Phil Sims
01:02:02night 35 to nothing from one
01:02:04quarterback who had his jersey
01:02:05retired to another quarterback
01:02:07standing by with Leslie Visser
01:02:08Leslie Dan.
01:02:09That is true.
01:02:10It was the Giants worst loss
01:02:11since 1980 and people are
01:02:13wondering are the Cowboys that
01:02:14good or are the Giants that bad
01:02:16Troy.
01:02:17Well I think the Giants have an
01:02:18outstanding football team.
01:02:19I really do.
01:02:20I think they're an improved team
01:02:21from what they were a year ago.
01:02:22We came in tonight and we're
01:02:23ready to play where we prepared
01:02:25well leading up to this ball
01:02:26game and we executed well.
01:02:27So I don't think I think they're
01:02:28a much better team than what
01:02:29they show tonight.
01:02:30Did you just feel you were able
01:02:31I mean more than 100 yards for
01:02:33Michael Irvin almost 100 for Jay
01:02:34Novacek hundred and sixty three
01:02:36I think for Emma did you feel
01:02:37you could just look anywhere.
01:02:39Well we got into a groove to
01:02:40where we were pretty much able
01:02:42to do what we wanted.
01:02:43We were able to throw the
01:02:43football and I had time to throw
01:02:45the ball guys were getting open
01:02:46and then the guys up front the
01:02:47offensive line did a fantastic
01:02:49job for us and giving some holes
01:02:50damage and that's where it all
01:02:52started was up front in the
01:02:53offensive line.
01:02:53It was good to have Eric back
01:02:55and the guys did a great job.
01:02:57Do you think maybe you're a
01:02:58better team than last year.
01:03:00Well I think we're a better team
01:03:03not necessarily because of
01:03:04talent.
01:03:04I think we're a better football
01:03:05team because the team has come
01:03:07together.
01:03:07And last year there was so much
01:03:09uncertainty surrounding this
01:03:10football team and a lot of
01:03:11controversy and changes and a
01:03:13lot of things that we had to
01:03:14try to overcome this year we've
01:03:15put all that behind us and we
01:03:16go into the season looking
01:03:17forward to what's laid in store
01:03:19for us and you come into this
01:03:19opening ballgame and you don't
01:03:20really know what kind of team
01:03:21you're going to have and this
01:03:22was a good start for us.
01:03:23He made it look easy tonight.
01:03:24Thanks.
01:03:25Thanks a lot.
01:03:25Back to you Dan.
01:03:28I'll take it Leslie.
01:03:29Thanks very much.
01:03:29We'll get back to you later on.
01:03:31Great.
01:03:31In baseball three years ago he
01:03:33hit 290 in.
